I think the incense thing may be a holdover from the counter culture days. Plus, there are a lot of men using one bathroom.

I love incense. But not when I'm getting tattooed. "Hey, here's an open wound! Let's put some smoke and shit into it!" Yeah. No, thank you. Hahaha.

ok,sorry,but I'm thinking getting infected from incense smoke is a little out there.that's a stretch IMO.

I have never heard of infections from incense smoke.I really don't think that's possible.

so it may be,we burn it everyday here at home.Yes,we are a couple old hippies from the 60's/70's

I have been to several shops that burn it and have a mellow gallery vibe.Nice atmosphere IMO.

I like incense but I'm not sure I'd want to be sitting in a room, being tattooed and having it right there. Maybe if it were in the lobby/waiting area of the studio....

I burn it all the time, too. And I didn't say it would cause an infection. I just wouldn't want it in my face or near me and my open wound in a shop. Luckily, no shop I've been to burns it. So no problem.

The shop I went to for my first tattoo had a smell. Not bad, but obvious. I realized after a little while there were several artists in there who vape and it was due to competing scents of vape flavors. I almost began to play a game in my head of "can I pick out which flavors they are using?"
